I've been growing this for probably about 2 months? I'm not really sure. Yes, I know there are a lot of problems but I don't have the money for anything else. Anyway I was wondering if I should switch to 12/12 lighting yet..I see many white hairs coming out of the leaves. Any suggestions?

you can generally expect it to double in size ish. you can tie it down. start bending the plant, a little at a time, and tie it down. after about a week you should be able to almost bend it in half. keep doing this with all the branches to keep the height down.

gogogo. after about 6 weeks of flowering your plant will approximately double in size. Go 12/12 now, top it a few days after that (I'd be taking at least 6"-12" off that personally). Take clones then as well If you plan to clone this plant.

oh btw I'm guessing that's a sativa and prone to being spindly anyway, but it also looks like that plant is stretching for light. Maybe raise it closer to the light a bit... put it on a stool or something.
